The text (131 A.D.) contains a royal oath of Demetrios, son of Ptolemaios, who swears to have given in pledge his house and his land to two military intendants who appointed a certain Pto-lemaios. This is also a bail for a new appointed official. Demetrios assures that the land and the house are free from any encumbran-ces as far the past is concerned and that they will remain free from any encumbrances as far the future is concerned.

ERIC G. TURNER, A Ptolemaic Vineyard-Lease (repr. from the
Bulletin of the John Rylands Library vol. 31, № 1 (1948).
This contract of lease represents ' the type of the s. c. colonia
partiaria (cf. my Laiv I 270/1). The parties agree that the lessor
will get a rent of two thirds of all the fruits and produce that grow in the vineyard. Very interesting is the provision that a pourboire of wine will be grant to the γεωργικές θίασος, to same extent a professional guild. The provision also deserves attention that the lessor provided a shovel which is to be returned or else the price sworn to by Nicomachus is to be paid.
